I too find this French scenario hard to believe... Yet I find it quite plausible: things are not always as straightfoward as we want them to be.
Yesterday, the French Minister of the Interior had a surgery accident. As you may be aware of, Jean-Pierre Chevenement was France's Defense Minister in 1992, during the Gulf War --under the presidency of Francois Mitterrand. Chevenement resigned voluntarily in 1992 because he disagreed with France's decision to get involved in the Gulf War. He is a man of ''character'' --as we put it in French--, a Statesman indeed. Chevenement would certainly have disagreed with such a disgraceful act of the French secret services. Could it be possible that, as the Minister in charge of the (non military) secret services, he might have asked for some ''covered inquiry''?
